    Nice image! Sharpness is excellent as is eye contact. BG works well with the bird, and I like the fact that you can see the entirety of the tail feathers. Thanks for posting!

    Hey G.

    I thought from the thumbnail that I saw this fellow already!

    Excellent image mate. I am glad you caught him as is. :) Love the branch in its diagonal shape across the frame and the Cuckoo's look.

    Oh my, this is lovely. Great use of dof. A crop from the bottom and the right would make it even better. Love the sharp eye, the soft tones, and the BKGR.

    Great pose, details, BG and eye contact. Maybe a slightly tighter crop as suggested but not much.
